George Condo another great artist who pictures are magnificent. Many would considered his paintings awkward but it was his awkwardness that drew many art lovers to follow up with his beautiful pieces.

A creative Artist he was,take a look at this interview. Who can get away with a interview by saying "Uh.. yes",Uh no" He so Dashing.

The Nickname Phoenix was given to me by my Brother Paris. The reminder of the x-men Superhero Phoenix. Who is beautiful,intelligent,powerful,misunderstood,strong and sometimes could not handle her own powers. As she grew she was able to control her powers and rise again as the Phoenix.

Groundhog Day Part I

A written piece


6:27
Groundhog day Part I

As the sun rays reflect across his shut but well rested eyes, he can tell its morning already. Eyes finally awoke by the voices of birds chirping, his only thoughts are hoping today will be different. Care less if tomorrow will be the same, just having the hope that today will be not like yesterday or the day before for that matter. Is it sad that he still keeps four pillows laying around and decorated pillows that she designed. Four pillows that he lies on when in fact he only use two. Looking at the wall with these infinite thoughts of his “Can it really be over“? Three years of the numerous breakups and few makeup’s and just like that, its over? Starring at the wall as if the wall will answer his questions. Ironically he waits for answer, but no one replies. Coming to an conclusion that only he can figure this one out himself. In a big room left alone with his thoughts and non answering walls, he just lies wishing he had a hobbies that will take his focus on something else. He has nothing to do, but sit and watched Groundhog day......To be continue

Before the summer over,I will have a day like Bueller

So my game plan before the Summer ends to have a similar day like Ferris Bueller day off,Calling it Shanowa J's Dashing Day off.



Stay tune. :-)

The Truth with Fairy Tales

As a child I watched many animated films. Mostly the fairly tales such as beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Sleeping beauty,and even Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet which was later created into a movie, which is not an animated but life teaching as well. Now being a young Adult I think about how aspiring these films are and have numerous questions. Can a animated film on love actually can be a teaching to real life, or could it just be another Fairy Tale?

Lets Take a look at a Few Classic Animated films

Beauty and the Beast:
In the beginning of the film, It is a introduction on how the Beast became the beast. He was once a handsome prince who was rude and was one day tested, By a old lady asking him for shelter. He turned her down numerous times, the last time she was transformed into a beautiful fairy who put a spell on the Prince. Transforming him into a Horrible looking Beast. She gave him one rose Petal which was said that he would have to find true love before the last petal falls or he dies. The movie then continues with a tale On A young female name Belle who looks for her father who has been captured. When searching for him she come across old Dungeon Castle, where the owner is A beast and has Captured not only her but has held her father prisoner as well. Belle than makes a deal with the Beast in order for her father to go, she will switch places with him and be the beast Prisoner.

Skipping a few scenes in the movie, as a few seasons pass Belle and the beast have a little Chemistry. The beast who in fact is not letting his guard down for Belle, but has Feelings for her. Belle teachings him to be gentle and caring( i.e. Petting birds, reading novels, having dinner, dancing and learning how to eat with a fork) something that the Beast is not used to. Without knowing it The beast Has change, because of his feelings for Belle. But his appearances of the Features of a lion and Beast looks made him not give his all to Belle. But loving Belle saw more to him. After a few season, he decides to let her go,Returning back home to her father. The town founds out that there is A beast and now they are in groups planning on Killing him. Belle pleads and says he is a good and different and shows the town him, by using a magic mirror which was a gift from The Beast that shows people, upon the request. Instead of helping the Beast, she makes it worst and the town people are after him. The last petal from a rose has fallen,weakling the Beast. Than Gaston(Belle’s annoying stalker) wants to fight The beast. After a few knife fights, the Beast wins, but is badly hurt. Belle comes but that is a little to late. She holds him and cries, which shows her true feelings for him. A few graphics later he transform back into the handsome Prince but this time a caring, loving Man. And they live Happily ever after.

Does someone physical Appearance matters when it comes to love? or was it the fact that opposite attracts regardless of looks. The fact that The Beast was changing on the inside.


Sleeping Beauty: A movie about A Princess who a evil whit ch has cursed a spell on her. Declaring that the Princess will die on her 16th birthday after a Poisoned spinning wheel she touch. Her fairy Godparents tries to refuse the Spell,Which puts her to sleep and She can only be awaken by a kiss but only by her true lover. The princess has to now wait for her true lover to awake her. That's when Prince Phillip travels to defeat the Whitch who has turned herself into a Dragon. The Prince struggles but defeats the dragon and returns to Sleeping Beauty with a kiss. And she awakes.

My question is why couldn't she save herself? instead of waiting for a guy to rescue her. But then I asked a few of my friends and they Said that Sometimes you need someone to save you when you fall even if its for a few seconds.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

A Beautiful Genuine Princess who runs away After her Vain Aunt who is jealous of her Beauty,place orders for huntsmen to Kill Snow White. Instead of killing her the huntsmen Lets her flee,telling her to run far away. As she run she comes across an empty cottage ,as she enters Finds seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room which she assumes is for seven small children. She then cleans making the home comfy,later on she is approached by seven dwarfs. These seven dwarfs all have different personalities, they allow her to stay after realizing she cooks and cleans. She continues to live with the Seven dwarfs. After the Queen who is Snow White's Aunt realizing that she is still alive and disguises herself as an old lady,which tricks Snow Whites into trusting her. A apple is then given to Snow White which is poisoned and that sends her into a deep sleep and can only be broken by a true loves kiss. The dwarfs return to their cottage,finding Snow White seemingly dead. Unwilling to bury her body out of sight in the ground, they instead place her in a glass coffin. Together with the woodland creatures, they keep watch over her body.After several seasons pass, a prince learns of her plight and visits her coffin. Captivated by her beauty, he kisses her,which breaks the spell and awakens her. The dwarfs and animals all rejoice as Snow White and the prince ride off to the prince's castle


A great Fairy Tail,teaches that not all people in life are Vain and are bad. There are still great amazing people.

Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet: About two individuals who come from different backgrounds. Where they families are actually rivals,which makes it harder for them to be together. After a few killings from both sides,Juliet realizes her duty is to love Romeo. They decided to wed after Romeo speaks to her about his true love for her. They finally are wed and are happy,until Juliet gets news that her father wants her to marry someone else. She afraid because she is already married to Romeo. Coming up with a plan to fake her death with A potion,the day comes and goes as plan until Romeo finds her,not knowing its a fake death. He then drinks the potion and kills himself. Juliet is then awake to find him dead next to her,she tries to kiss his lips but fails. She then get is dagger and kills herself. They both are dead together.

My question is true love is hard to find,but is it worth risking your life?

"If this town is just an Apple than let me take a bite"

Something For One Of The Greatest Entertainers of all time

I would be lying if I didn't say that Michael Jackson and The Jackson's never played in my house. There are so many memories That honestly bring a Tear to my eyes.

If you can please reminisce with me.

Around the age of seven I can remember My brothers and I always going to my grandmother house to have fun. It was at my grandmother house that we had an extra do whatever you want kind of fun. If I must say she was the coolest Grandmother ever. But this particular day os staying a over,My Grandmother left my Older Brother Jason to be in charge of my brother Paris and myself,while she went to the store. Around this time is when The song thriller came out and i was afraid of this video every time I try to be brave and watched it I failed and Cover my big eyes with my small hands. My brothers knew I was afraid of this. As soon as my grandmother left a few Min's later Both of my brothers played Thriller and was reacting the zombie dance that Michael Jackson did in the video. I was terrified as I continue to scream as they did the dead walk of a zombie. A few mins later which seemed like a few hours my Grandmother arrived and put my brothers in check. I kid you not I was afraid of that video. every Halloween they would play that video and every time they did I repeated my actions. Covering my eyes with my hands. it was not until the age of 13 I decided to actually watch the whole video. And Ever since then I have been watching,Indeed it is a creative video.

May my Grandmother rest In Peace Maria Perez as well as My Older Brother Jason Clark

I can remember around 9 or so I was supposed to be in bed early to wake up for school. I would beg my mother if she could play I found that girl by The Jackson's. I swear I would have this on repeat. Falling asleep to these beautiful voices and waking up to them while getting ready fro school was my motivation.

As years go by,New artist was introduce to my family. But We continue to play Michael Jackson. But I think I was more than a fan for Mr. Michael Jackson. I can remember every Christmas My parents would buy more and more unreleased albums. Remembering how we was only allowed to open four gifts the day before Christmas. instead of going for the big gifts I would go for the smaller ones,which was wrap in wrapping paper and obviously can tell it was a CD. It was more Michael Jackson and the The Jackson 5 Cd's. I would play every song until I would learn the words.

Getting older I still remained a fan. Around the age 16 I watched the news as I heard Michael Jackson and his bothers and a few other guest will be performing at Madison Square Garden. I admittedly called my father,it went straight to voicemail. I could barley talk that's how excited I was. I left a message and I can still remember it. I said" dad can I please go to his concert and I would not ask for anything else for a very long time" who was I kidding,but I was desperate to go. The day finally came and my father said he didn't get the tickets but how him,Mother and I would go to the movies. Oh how I cried,movies was the last thing on my mind. As we left to go downtown I realize we were a little too dressed up to be going to the movies. Also why was we traveling all the way downtown when a movies theaters was near our area. Still blind, we get off on 34 street and walk to Madison Square Garden my Father than ask me if I wanted to see if anyone was selling tickets. Of course I knew it would be sold out but I was thirst. As we walk inside. My father pull out the tickets. My mother and father said surprise,I was so shocked I stood there and started crying. As we get to our seats when I can say i was a few rows to the stage. As few artist come out an perform. Than Michael Jackson Comes out and start singing. My Parents start dancing and is more hype than me. I stood in my chair still shock as I watched them both make a fool out of me. After a few hits played I started to enjoy my time. A beautiful and unforgettable night that was.

Years passed and Still a fan, When the Invincible album came out. I can remember My dear friend Janay and I reacting the skit for Rock my world. We will continue to do this for many hours. As I listen to more tracks which was all amazing. But it was one song that captured my attention. "Speechless" it was something about this song which was not long but was beautiful. At the end when Michael would sing "words like".....and the lady would say "Michael I LOVE YOU" I would cry,and Cry and I didn't know why. till this day I would cry when listening to this song. My cousins would take the CD away or turn the song off because they knew how emotional that song was to me.

As I end My most memorable years with supporting Michael Jackson. I would like to say that He was the most talented,more that creative,interesting,handsome inside and out,the most sweetest man,who worked hard to give us individuals a different view on music. He stepped out the box,over the mountain,across the ocean and back to the studio to give us his gift which was his music. He was one of a kind,he was the KING OF POP. He would be missed dearly. He is the reason that I am working harder to one day meet my Dreams In reality and give it a big hug.

May Michael Jackson Rest In Peace
1958-2009

Hi My Name Is.....Shanowa. Who Am I,No who are you Honey!!

I Know Who I am inside and outside,and I know what I want to do. And I will always go with my dreams- Michael Jackson

I figure I start off with a quote first. OK so here I Am making blogs,and you viewers know nothing about me. So i need to get few things of my Breast excuse me Chest(ha ha) anyways...Just listen


My name is Shanowa,I don't like to be called nothing else but my name Shanowa,or Nowa but many seem to always call me Nowa Baby, which is cool.My name is so unique,I laugh after writing this to check my spelling and they had my name highlighted as a error. Laughing because I am happy my name is not common because nothing about me says common. Shanowa who is she? well I am creative,Art and photography is something that I find beautiful as well as Amazing. So many ideas but I think that I really do Think too damn much.Breaking rules is something that I do with out even realzing it. Yes I am the sweetest but can be the bitchiest,secretive,have an attitude of don't try that SHIT with me( I can smell bullshit,games and a rat from a mile away), Down to earth/Old fashion kind of girl who loves people because there is so much to learn from them. I do my own thing and have my own style. I wear what I want,Do what I please,Listen to everything. I love,and I mean Love Lipstick,Lipgloss was like really last last year. Still Continues to adore clothes bring around fashion since birth(My mother designed most of my clothes as a youngster. I love everything and anything about fashion.I have so many magazines from vogue,teen vogue,Nylon,Glamour,In-Style,Bazaar, and Elle. I can date back from collecting during my pre teenage years. I honestly have too damn many and made my once clothes drawer now are replaced with my magazines. Do not get me wrong there are times when I want to close my eyes and throw away every single magazine but a dear friend of mines says to keep collecting. Its crazy how I never saw me as a collector until opening my eyes to fashion.

Fashion:clothes was always my first love,does that make me materialistic or could there be a possibility that your second-Shanowa J.










Not only do I want to do anything and everything that deals with fashion but I want to produce,direct movies,plays as well,make beats too,that's something different, a challenge for myself. My brother Paris is teaching me even though Hcho the boss was as well but that's another story. I will yell at him another time. ha ha. Shout out to Demevolist just to throw that out there. OK so moving on. i know that's alot of goals that I have and how would i ever have time to get to point A let alone Point B but I keep saying this in the back of my head. When i say I am tired think about when its all done,god will let me rest,so until then work hard. I just Do not want to say i want to do this because I want to do everything. I would like to have my name everywhere. Shanowa Johnson. I come from a very talented background Why wouldn't I make it. You have to follow your dreams no matter what and always say i know instead of I hope. OK what else about me I am a procrastinator I admitted that,but I think I really have A.D.D. I have so many ideas,that i start one project and move on to another(I mean look how long it took me to write another blog) But don't get me wrong when I come back to pick where i left off,I honestly take a break from the world and go missing Literally. Lock myself in my room and write on my fire escape and will continue keep writing until I have a few writing pieces and are fully complete. I do not watch TV like most teenagers do,unless its Friends,sex and the city,Married with children,will and grace,home Improvement,Living single,Martin,Wayne's,Jefferson's, and Good times...Basically I watch old classic TV shows. To sum up this fake ass bio. I am me, The Procrastinator,The Bitch,The Sweetheart,The Weirdo,the overachiever, I am a female who is comfortable with herself and knows what she wants. And What I want is to follow my million and one dreams.

For the last time I am one of a kind,They have a better chance of cloning me than finding another Shanowa J.
